MO Kingmaker Gives $1M to Candidate in Single Donation

St. Louis Post-Dispatch 12/9: “In what is apparently a first in Missouri politics, conservative kingmaker Rex Sinquefield has given $1 million in a single donation to a single candidate.”

“Sinquefield is the Missouri-based retired investor and chess enthusiast whose high-dollar donations to mostly conservative candidates and causes have been a key driver of Missouri political debates for years.

“Randles, a lawyer from Kansas City, is chairwoman of Missouri Club For Growth, a Sinquefield-financed organization that has promoted his pro-business, anti-tax agenda. Her husband, fellow lawyer Bill Randles, sought the Republican nomination for governor in 2012.”
